You have a good eye.I told you I am new to these bikes.lol.I checked the title, it is an 81.

Another site I fould helpful was the kawasaki.com site,...look up your bike, then owner info. Then you can look up your part. Once you have it you can then drill down (maybe right click) and see what other models and years this same part was used one, So it is a good place to get cross reference info on parts.

I entered kawasaki.com and it takes me to a site for new bikes

When you go to Kawasaki.com, click "Owner Info", then "Parts Diagrams", then you will select your bike info.

found out it is actually an 81.I am trying to post pics.Dont know if i can manage several views in 1 post

I am asking, the triangle mounts for the motor, I suppose they are mount point for highway bars? The ingenious mount for license will be removed.I showed wiring pictures, not sure which to connect for a tailight.Also he had welded a lot of extension on the brake pedal to make it go under around and visible around the vance and hines exhaust.Did not think that was necessary.I do not see a rear brakelight switch.

found the plug and play loom inside the fender that looks like it plugs into a connector from the bike.that should do the tailight.Looks light the fender needs to go up a notch, but the bolt holes lined up here.maybe it has been cut off.

duh, I moved it up,looks ok now.I filled it up.Not a cloud in the sky,now wind, 70 degrees outside.Then I lost the key.My wife and I have torn the house up looking for it. Drives me crazy being so damn absent minded.

Finally, good weather.Today i am going to start dismantling, rebuilding.Thanks to Brian.
